*receives never ending tax breaks, grants, and other government financial support.

*always votes national because "those bleeding heart faggots are too soft on loving dole bludgers and foreigners mate".

Their disconnect from reality for these two points (which is truly what all of the farmers I met during my two-year stint at boarding school believed) continues to cause me headaches.

So how much if a 3 bedroom house in good shape in a decent neighborhood in Auckland?

Hillcrest (which is just over the bridge and about 10 minutes drive to Britomart without traffic) costs about $800k for a 3 bedroom poo poo hole.
We just sold our house and were going to buy another in the same area, but it is pretty much unfeasible if you want to be able to do anything other than sit at home (and that is with both my partner and I making decent incomes - although having a kid does make things tighter).

So yeah, you're hosed.

Commercial trucks feel the same way about being charged more just because they have a double tyre.

What really appears to be happening there is people trying to do well by the environment with a nice new Golf TDi are being charged the same rate as trucks to subsidize the hauling companies. I have no evidence at all to prove this, but it seems the only logical explanation.

the best NZ music video is either that Skeptics one with the sheep at the meat works or Skuldom - Orgiastic Blasphemy

If I remember correctly, the Skeptics one is the "We pack meat" one that got banned? And I'm guessing the Skuldom one is Sarah in her meat bra.

It's worth noting that even if our media let this go quietly, The Intercept will continue to keep good coverage of this whole thing as their Director of Security is a card-carrying pinko-commie NZer who has spent a good portion of his life being hugely concerned about government spying.

Newsboy should get a current affairs show

Eating Media Lunch was a current affairs show, pretty much. and it was amazing. It was the best when he managed to convince Angela Dewhassherface to go to press conferences and use her BBC anchor cred to get to the front and then ask questions as "Angela: Eating Media Lunch". They should revive it and bring back Unauthorised History of NZ.

Yeah. The alternator is the downfall of that model. The engine will run forever, just don't try and ever jump start it or the alternator will likely pop.
